There's another citizen photojournalism agency called Citizenside that I came across recently. I read on the site that their partners with Agence Frence-press, which is the 3rd largest news agency in the world, so they've got considerable street credit. Sign up is free and you can upload an unlimited amount of news-related photos and videos, which they will sell for you to media outlets around the world. Comission is up to 75% of the sale price, which I found honestly amazing. I even downloaded an iPhone app to upload images directly and immediately from the scene.

Thanks for the coverage. I’m Jonnie Léger, the Head of Sales at Demotix. I’d like to clarify one point around the value of archival editorial imagery. Demotix will launch an Editorial Archive collection in 2009 in order to answer the need for mainstream media to access and use “old editorial images.” These images may not make the front page alongside breaking news, but there is definitely a market for Editorial Archive images in terms of providing background to current stories and reporting significant anniversaries, etc. Demotix is committed to providing a platform for citizen journalist and to doing everything possible to then market the images entrusted to our website, this includes creating an Editorial Archive collection. The introduction of an Archive collection will not herald a significant fall in prices at Demotix- we will continue to work for the best deal possible for every contributor.

A photojournalist in my city candidly suggested to pay attention to what's going on, and show up right when things are hectic. The authorities are too busy in the beginning to usher away photographers and you can get in pretty close to the action even with a real camera versus a cell phone.
